A
California residence once owned by basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has hit the market for $2.99 million. The Los Angeles County property, which Abdul-Jabbar called home from 2011 to 2021, boasts custom features tailored to his 7'2" frame.

    The four-bedroom, three-bathroom compound is part of a gated complex in Marina del Rey, an exclusive community near the Ritz-Carlton and California Yacht Club. The property spans over 8,600 square feet on a lot with more than 3,200 square feet of living space.

    Customizations include a large spa tub, higher counters, and door frames to accommodate Abdul-Jabbar's height. Other features include multiple fireplaces, a whole-house water filtration system, automatic lighting, and a remote-access camera security system.

    The property also includes a two-car garage with additional parking for up to four more cars. The kitchen is equipped with an island and breakfast corner, while the primary suite boasts its own fireplace, walk-in closet, balcony with marina views, and ensuite bath with dual vanities and a soaking tub.

    Abdul-Jabbar purchased the residence in 2011 for $1.52 million and initially listed it for sale in 2016 at $2.99 million before selling it for $2.4 million in 2021. The current owner's identity is unknown, but Abdul-Jabbar's impressive basketball career and accolades are well-documented, including a Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded by President Barack Obama in 2016.
